Lucasmill..longer than life

Sorry to Burn your Turff Ianab but

With My Lucas and a bit more I got through a Log which was 118' (35meters)

to this day I regret not taking any pics of that Monteray Pine and where we cut it.

It was 2.4 meters in Diameter at the but and (as I said) 35 meters long. I couldn't cut a section out half way up because it was too big to move and we could get any big machines on the site. It fell on a huge pile of horse manure... very natural.

It took me two days to set up the mill with the 20 ' extensions at each end and some angle inbetween. What a show.

Could move the boards I cut though.

That was a long time ago.

Just sold my mill with 40' of rails a week ago (sniff  sniff)

Ian, thanks for the links, very interesting.

S. B. Andy.

You are not burning anyone's turf, with an impressive story like that......there are not many millers who can compete with such humongous dimensions.

I like your 'out of the box' style of thinking and am intrigued as to how you supported the 'angle inbetween' attatchments, without getting belly-sag or side wobble?

Does that mean you are totally mill-less now?...I don't know whether to congratulate or send my condolences on the sale of your mill :D :D
